The Patriots Resigning Rashad Moore and Releasing Baker and Jackson

The New England Patriots claimed to have re-signed defensive lineman Rashad Moore and have released defensive backs Eddie Jackson and Rashad Baker. Moore is a famous player, who has played for such teams as the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets. Moore signed as a free agent with the Patriots on June 8, then he was released Sept. 1 and now is resigned. Baker, a backup safety, is a very special player for the team. He had 14 tackles in seven games for the Patriots. Jackson, a backup cornerback, had one defensive tackle and four special team tackles in three games.

Is There Any Rest for the Patriots?

It was a perfect regular season for the Patriots but the team are not going to rest. In fact, New England still has much to play for. The Patriots have won 17 consecutive regular-season games last year, one shy of their NFL record of 18 in a row set in 2003-04. As for the players, quarterback Tom Brady needs four touchdown passes to reach the league record of 49 set by Manning in 2004. Or, say, Randy Moss is three scoring receptions away from Jerry Rice who marked of 22 set in 1987. So, the team as a whole and its separate members has much to strive for. Let’s hope that the new season will bring much joy to the Patriots and its fans.

New England Patriots vs New York Jets

This is Week 14 of the NFL Picks… we have been witnessing an interesting matchup between the New England Patriots and New York Jets in a rematch of game 1 this season that led to “Spy Gate”. Not that successful for the Patriots though. After barely winning their previous two games New England totally dominated the Steelers last week for a convincing 34-13 victory. However, then they completed 32 of 35 passes for 399 yards and four touchdowns. They didn’t have much of a running game with only 22 yards total but they certainly didn’t seem to need it. The victory clinched a first-round playoff bye, and the Patriots should be big favorites to take a 15-0 record into their season finale at the New York Giants.

Patriots Are Favored 26 points over the Jets

The Patriots are a very strong team. They are the fifth in the NFL’s 88-year history to start a season with 13-0. They will host the 3-10 Jets at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts five days from now. One of the latest achievements of the undefeated New England Patriots is that they are favored by 26 points over the New York Jets, the highest betting line ever put out by Las Vegas Sports Consultants for a National Football League game.

New England: 16-0?

The last chance to keep New England from going 16-0 comes this Sunday. In case the Steelers can’t spoil the Patriots’ perfect regular season, chances are no one can. The Patriots are the best in the National Football League, they are undefeated. The Patriots are 12-0 and lead NFL in scoring. The team struggled in winning their last 2 matches by 3 points each in the final minutes against losing teams.
